Grade 1 Winner Charlatan Retired To Hill ‘N’ Dale At Xalapa

Hill 'n' Dale Farms announced today that multiple Grade 1 winner Charlatan has been retired from racing and will take up stud duty at the farm's newly restored stallion complex at Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa in Paris, Ky.

Bred by Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings LLC, the imposing son of Eclipse champion and champion sire Speightstown out of Breeders' Cup Distaff-placed Authenticity, he sold as the second-highest-priced colt for his sire at the 2018 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, where he was hammered down for $700,000. Purchased by SF Bloodstock / Starlight West, the colt raced for owners SF Racing LLC, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables LLC, Stonestreet Stables LLC, Hertrich, III, Frederick, Fielding, John D. and Golconda Stables.

The freakishly-talented Charlatan served notice of his brilliance in his first start, drawing off by 5 3/4 lengths in 1:08 and change for the six panels earning TDN Rising Star status. All told, the brilliant chestnut who many compared to Justify, compiled a record of four wins and a second from five starts with career earnings of $4,047,200.

He decimated the field in the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby, winning by six lengths, in a hand ride. He rounded out his 3-year-old campaign with a devastating and visually impressive performance in the G1 Malibu where he won by 4 1/2 widening lengths. His only defeat came in the $20 million Saudi Cup where he was edged out at the wire, running a gallant second to Mishriff. He won his four races by a combined 26 1/2 lengths.

“Horses with Charlatan's immense ability combined with superior pedigree, conformation, depth of female family and star-quality appeal are a very rare commodity,” said John G. Sikura, president of Hill 'n' Dale. He is one of the most talented horses I have seen run who combines world class sprinter/miler speed with the ability to carry it around two turns. He is a striking individual who should impart size, substance, balance, and brilliance to his foals. It is an honor to have Charlatan set the standard of excellence as the first stallion whose career we launch here at Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa.”

“We're very proud of everything Charlatan accomplished in his brief but brilliant career: He's one of the most perfect physical specimens to come to stud in recent times and there's no doubt he will be supported accordingly. On behalf of the SF racing partners we wish John and the team at Hill 'n' Dale the very best,” said Tom Ryan managing partner.

“Physically he's one of the best physical horses we've ever bred. What sets him apart is the way he moves. He moves like a great horse. He is just a real athlete. He is the epitome of what we've tried to breed up to this point. Charlatan is a perfect combination of the genes meeting the physical. He is an absolute standout,” said Stonestreet Farm bloodstock adviser John Moynihan.

A stud fee will be announced at a later time.

Tiznow Filly Tops Fasig-Tipton Santa Anita 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale

The second edition of the Fasig-Tipton Santa Anita 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale was held Wednesday afternoon in the winner's circle at Santa Anita Park. The sale saw increases in average and median over 2019's inaugural sale, and a decrease in the buyback rate.

A filly by Horse of the Year Tiznow topped the sale when sold to Spendthrift Farm for $250,000 (video). Pike Racing, agent offered the bay filly as Hip 36.

Out of the Empire Maker mare Soot Z, the filly is a half-sister to eye-catching Grade 2 winner Amalfi Sunrise (Constitution). Hip 36 is also a half-sister to group stakes placed winner Gotti (More Than Ready) and stakes placed winner Senatus (Sky Mesa). The filly worked an eighth in 10.3 during Monday's under tack show (video).

The sale's top colt came in the form of Bochombo (Street Boss), purchased by Peter Miller, agent for $150,000 (video).

The dark bay of brown colt was offered as Hip 20 by Havens Bloodstock Agency, agent. Bochombo broke his maiden at Santa Anita on May 23 in his second start (video), then ran second in Sunday's Fasig-Tipton Futurity. The colt is one of five winners from seven starters and the second stakes horse out of the unraced Storm Cat mare Parading Lady, herself a daughter of champion Sacahuista and a half-sister to multiple group stakes winner Ekraar.

In total, 53 2-year-olds changed hands for $2,981,000. The average was $56,245, up from $54,630 in 2019. The median jumped 40 percent to $50,000 from $30,000 at the sale's inaugural edition, while the RNA rate fell 14 points to 22.1 percent. Eight juveniles sold for $100,000 or more.

Full results are available online.

Goldencents Returns To Spendthrift Farm After Clinic Visit For Respiratory Issue

Veteran sire Goldencents is back at Spendthrift Farm after a stay at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute due to a respiratory issue, the social media account of the horse's racetrack owner WC Racing announced Wednesday.

BloodHorse reported on Friday that Spendthrift sent a message to the stallion's shareholders on June 17 had been admitted to the clinic. Initial reports from Spendthrift general manager Ned Toffey stated that the 11-year-old stallion responded quickly and positively to treatment.

Toffey's message to shareholders on Wednesday, shared through WC Racing's social media channel, said the Hagyard staff was unable to find a specific cause for the respiratory illness, but the stallion's response to treatment left him in “very good condition” and he is expected to return to the breeding shed as normal in 2022.

Goldencents, a two-time Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner, is a son of Spendthrift Farm's cornerstone stallion Into Mischief, and arguably his first true national-level star. He joined his sire on the Spendthrift roster in 2015, and he has four crops of racing age with combined earnings of more than $17.1 million.

His best runner to date is By My Standards, a four-time winner at the Grade 2 level, who most recently finished second in the Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park on June 5.

Other runners of note by Goldencents include Grade 2 winner Phantom Currency, and Grade 3 winners Mr. Money, Wildman Jack, and Going to Vegas.
